  1. Use app title instead of icon

    Sort of like the Minimalistic Text theme on Google Play except it can work for any app.

        • Folder Preview Icons too Large on Tablet

          On Nexus 7 the folder preview icons size is too large and overlaps the folder background. Thanks for the great app.

          • Optional app drawer icon at top-right on phones

            Tablets can have an app drawer icon at the top-right corner. I would like an option to enable this on phones.

            If you want a reference, ADW Launcher does this pretty well.

              • Add toggle widgets

                There's no toggles in Apex that can be placed on homescreen as widgets, nothing, null.

                • Fix issues with oversized app icons

                  1) I use HD icons which look fine when increased in size. But the icon labels also become oversized and appear blurred, thus looking terrible. Therefore either stop the label text from also increasing in size OR fox the issue so that text doesn't appear blurry
                  2) When large, the icons in the folder ios view touch each other. It doesn't look sleek but messy. Ensure they maintain a gap. Also they don't actually fit the folder square background if used.
                  Thanks!

                  • Ability to create folder without drag and dropping icons

                    Drag and drop icons to create a folder is nice, but it is cumbersome when creating folders with more apps (or if the app icons are not in the screen yet)

                    Steps to create a folder:
                    - Long press on scren
                    - Choose to create new folder
                    - See alist of all your apps
                    - select the apps you want to add to the folder (batch add)
                    - end

                    This is the way go launcher does it and it works extremely well

                    • Number of Home Screens

                      This feature my already exist but I can not find it, how to reduce the number of home screens.Under newer phones wit high resolution screens 5 is too many. Ideally I would like to reduce the number to 3. Also the new feature on HTC DNA which is shake to reorder icons would be really cool.

                      • full 360 rotation

                        Full rotation would be great for, in particular devices with no physical buttons (nexus 4) and work in a way similar to the Xoom which supported full rotation out the box

                            • Add a folder expansion type that works like the dock

                              Currently tapping a folder brings up an essentially square list of the apps it contains. However, if you tap on a folder and it brings up a horizontal list of the contents, which is scrollable, then one handed selections on larger groupings would be easier.
                              Also, given the right configuration options, this could greatly expand the options for screen layouts. For example if the list can be left aligned or right aligned you could stack folders on both sides of the screen or accommodate left handed people. Another option would be to specify the width of the scroll section. e.g.…

                              • Apply a theme only on the home screen (or app drawer)

                                I would like an option were only apps on the home screen was affected by a surden theme. And also if I dragged an app to the home screen then it would automatically change in to the icon from your home screen theme. It would be awesome if this was done, and because right now if I want to do this I have to go to every icon on my home screen and manually change it and change icon from icon pack.

                                      I'll describe my problem. I have normal dock icons (like gmail/facebook) and these icons don't cause any problems. But I also have 2 icons to toggle my wifi/data. These two icons are 1x1 widgets (I'm a pro-user). The widgets I use come from widgetsoid. These toggles do work, but sometimes when I click on the widget, apex thinks I want to move the widget. Apex wants to re-arrange my dock (I see the grit with the +). It would be great if I could 'lock' my dock (some setting in the dock settings?). In the locked dock it should not…
